Question

Oculus TrayTool - SuperSampling profiles, HMD disconnect fixes (hopefully)

Oculus Tray Tool  
current version: 0.87.3

What is it?
In short; It’s a free application that helps you get the most out of your Rift. It is developed by me, ApollyonVR, with the support of the community for beta testing. Please note that this application is not an official piece software from Oculus, I am not affiliated with Oculus in any way. Any issues you
have with this application should be reported to me and not Oculus support. You can reach me here on the forums or by contacting me at *REDACTED*

Oculus Tray Tool (OTT) has many features that will hopefully help you get the very best VR experience. It has options that help you automatically switch audio and microphone to the Rift and back, handle the Oculus runtime service, voice commands, batch import Steam games (added to OTT by the awesome headkaze over at http://headsoft.com.au), replace icons for your games and more.

It’s primary feature however, is the ability to create “Profiles” for you VR Games and apps.
Within these Profiles, you set how Asyncronous SpaceWarp (ASW) should act, increase the perceived resolution by using Supersampling and increase the CPU Priority of a given app to get the most juice out of your system for that specific application.
Once a Profile has been created for a game or app, OTT will detect when it is started and apply the
profile for it, without the need for taking your headset of.

If you want to have a peek at all the things OTT can do for you before installing the application, check the User Guide pdf. The latest version of this application will always be right below this intro, but the app also checks for available updates on startup.

Enjoy, have fun and please report any issues, suggestion or feature requests to me using the above mentioned methods. Oh, and feel free to buy me a coffee by using the PayPal button in-app. 🙂
 
The very nice people over at Guru3d.com have been kind enough to host some mirrors for the setups, so make sure to pay them a visit!

UPDATE 03/08

Hi all!
It's been a while since i released a new version, but now the time has come! 😃
I'm looking for ppl who want to test the new version before public release.
There are primarily changes for the Quest but anyone is welcome to test it.
Just drop an email to *REDACTED* and i'll get you a download link
and some instructions. Also include what type of headset (Rift or Quest)
that you are using.

 

Also, i now have a proper domain for the website, so swing by www.ApollyonVR.com
and check out the new Forum! If you have questions, comments or suggestions

that is the place to post them. 😃

 

Below are the release notes for the new version. Please note that this is a Beta version

for testing the new features. If you just want to use a stable version of OTT then head

over to www.apollyonvr.com and simply download the latest version.

 

Version 0.87.7
* Oculus Dash will now use the same CPU Priority as what you set for OVR Server.
* Added a "Comments" option to Profiles.
* Implemented Paolod29's code for a permanent AirLink (https://github.com/pd29/oculus-airlink-enabler).
* Added more choices to the Quest Link settings for "Bitrate" and "Encode Resolution".
* Added option for "Force Mipmap generation on all layers" on the Game Settings tab.
* Added option for "Offset Mipmap bias on all layers" on the Game Settings tab.
* Added option for "Force Mipmap generation on all layers" to Profiles.
* Added option for "Offset Mipmap bias on all layers" to Profiles.
* Added option for "Encode Dynamic Bitrate" on the Quest Link tab.
* Added option for "Dynamic Bitrate Max" on the Quest Link tab.
* Added "FOV Multiplier" to Profiles. Setting this to a value lower than 1, for example 0.8,
will increase FPS due to less pixels being drawn at the expense of lower FOV.
* When creating a brand new Profile, the current settings from the Game Settings tab will be used.
This will make it even easier to create a new Profile! Simply experiment with different settings
on the Game Settings tab, and when you have found the perfect combo for a given game those
settings are copied over when you click "Create new Profile".

* Added option to Disable profiles.

* Redesigned the Profiles window a bit.
* Fixed some bugs.

 
Cheers!

Ok I have made some headway on my issues...Being concerned with security/malware, etc., I've got in the habit of creating a second user account in windows, one that is not an administrator, for everyday use; and when I need to install something, it comes up with a prompt for the administrator password. Just like Linux. The vast majority of the time, everything works. But apparently not with Oculus. Since I couldn't run either your tray tool or the debug tool, I tried an experiment. Deleted everything and reinstalled Oculus from the administrator account. Debug tool works, your tool comes up ok now though v 0.68.2 still cuts off the bottom part of the window due to my 4k monitor scaling. Went back to my regular user account, things were broken again. So apparently the Oculus programmers have some issues with permissions and have to be run from an admin account.
Just got the .69 version, the window is no longer cut off,  and I will now see if my settings apply within VR, and let you know if I have any issues.
-edit: I can't tell any difference, so I suspect maybe it is not changing anything in VR. But then I'm a new user, so not sure I have ever seen it work. Is there some kind of test I can do?

For the last month, since I built my new computer I started getting crackles and pops in the rift audio. I believe it is related to the headset usb cable extension I have. I tried different cables and different usb ports and the problem seemed to get better or worse relative to the combination I had. It never went away though and it drove me crazy. 

That is until I accidentally fired off OTT after a long time not using it. I don't know if it was the "selective usb suspend" setting or the "full performance", but my problem fixed itself immediately!

@kgian76 Great to hear, happy it helped you =)

I am working on a fix for a bug in 0.69 that's causing settings to not save. It also seems to cause users with no config.xml to get a corrupt config.xml when OTT creates a new one. There's a loop condition that causes it to get duplicate parameters. An update will be out soon for this, just need to get it tested.

I hate to sound dense, but I keep seeing mention of a version 0.69. I have never been prompted there was an updated version, and on the OP of this thread it still shows 0.68.2 as latest version. Where are you folks getting 0.69?

@dburne  It should pop up in the startup toast down in the system tray, it should say that there's and update available. If you open the gui there should also be an green arrow button that indicates there's an new version.
I will add a link on the main page as soon as i've fixed some of the issues in this version.

I was having this problem on the previous version and still on the newest version. The OTT successfully  changes my sound device to the rift when Home starts, but does not revert back to default when Home closes. I am on Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview.  Thanks for the help.

Working in a fix for the audio issue, which might actually be caused by another issue where settings are still not saving as they should, causing all kinds of bad behavior. Sent a test version out to a couple of users, so there should hopefully be a fix out soon.

Cheers!
